Suggestion for First Submissions Queue

So I finally got around to looking at the first submissions queue. Hurts to look at.

It would be nice if there were a filter system at the top (similar to the "artists needing gear" page). The tags could be based on gear category (DJ gear, music software, etc). I bring this up because producer/DJ gear is my personal strong suit when it comes to identifying gear, which allows me to be more efficient about checking the quality of first submissions. Others on here are gonna have different strong suits (e.g. guitar pedals & effects).

In the meanwhile, getting through a bit of this submissions queue day by day should be fun. LOL.

GEAR:
  • Steinberg Cubase
  • RME Babyface Pro
  • Mackie HR824mk2 Studio Monitor

This is a very good idea! I second this.

GEAR:
  • sE Electronics V7
  • Fender Vintage Series '57 Stratocaster
  • Blank slot

Good Idea, hope you don't mind if I link a similer topic I started:

Edit: Just looked at the "Artists Needing Gear" page for the first time, I think this is a really good idea.

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

Understood. Would it help if we just did the same filtering by role like on the "artists needing gear" page? Filtering based on gear categories is a little trickier because there are so many of them. Instead you could filter the artists in the first submissions queue by role. So in your case you select producer & DJ, and the submissions to sift through should contain gear you are more familiar with.

This is now live. Filtering can be sloowwwww... we'll work on making it snappier, but at least it's possible now :)

Nice! You're not kidding re: speed... yikes.

Does this list really need to include stuff submitted 6 years ago?

What if it was capped at the last 18 months? Would that improve performance?

I mean, MY untouched first submission is in there somewhere in this feature's current state... the window to improve my first-use experience is long gone, friend :). I had to face the hard truth that nobody gave a $#@%.... persisted anyway, lol.
